Second Afghan War Mounted Officer Conversion in Poshteen
« on: January 13, 2015, 04:45:34 PM »
Hi Guys and Gals,

There are many more pics on my Shooting Leave (Late Victorian Warfare) Blog:

Cheers,
Darrell.

looks great! I also have to ask if the title of your blog is a reference to Stalky and Co?

Yep, right here, Col. Mike Snook posts there too:

There's also the Grimsby Wargames Group Colonial forum (The authors Victorian Steel):
